I'm shocked to just find out that Paul Hester, the drummer of Aussie band Crowded House has killed himself in Melbourne on the weekend.
Crowded House were one of the biggest Aussie bands of the late 80's and 90's, and pretty successful overseas. Hester was a real showman, and always seemed a pretty lively character, but apparently he struggled with depression, and ended his life by hanging himself in a Melbourne park on Saturday afternoon.
Such a shame....thoughts go out to his two little girls and his parter. He will indeed be missed.
